Rise Of The Hidden Heiress 169.
~Allister~ I’m barely two minutes away from Lumino Lounge when my phone buzzes against my thigh. The screen lights up with Angel’s name. Quickly, I pick up the call and push the phone close to my ear."Alpha," his voice is clipped. "We have a situation over here. The remaining survivor from the attack on the night of the engagement party is dead."I groan frustratingly. "What happened to him?""We found him wrapped in his chain around his neck and turned over his chair. By the time my men got to him, he was already gone."I close my eyes for a moment, hating that this whole thing has lingered till this moment. I should have wrapped everything up by now.In fact, if I didn’t get the hint that someone else was after me, I would have ended Jefferson Hoard’s life and have his chapter closed. But I want him to enjoy the little freedom he can for now. I have no plan of attacking him yet, at least until I get to the root of everything."Where are you now?" I ask Angel. "The dungeon. Also
Rise Of The Hidden Heiress 166. Carrying out instructions
~Dominic~The elevator doors slide open, and I half-carry, half-drag Jess down the hallway. She's leaning heavily against me, her feet shuffling beneath her, her head lolling against my shoulder."Dom'nic," she slurs, the syllables tangled together. "S'not—where's—I wan' Alli—""Almost there, baby." My voice comes out steady.We stop in front of her door, and I shift my weight, supporting her with one arm while I reach into her purse. My fingers brush past lipstick, keys, her phone—then close around the keycard. I pull it out, swipe it against the lock, and push the door open.Her apartment is dark. I guide her inside, kicking the door shut behind us with my heel."Where-" Jess mumbles, her body swaying. "S'not my-Alli, where is-""I brought you home," I tell her. "You're safe."She's not forming complete sentences. Her eyes keep fluttering shut, then snapping open again, like she's fighting to stay awake and failing.The pink flush from the wine still stains her cheeks, and her hair
Rise Of The Hidden Heiress 165. Drunk amongst Wolves
Lumino Lounge is so serene and exotic as usual.Allister had made a reservation for us, but, surprisingly, he hasn’t shown up yet.A waiter brings forward a bottle of expensive red wine, but before he can open it, I stop him and tell him to come back as I need to urgently use the restroom.Lumino Lounge is so spacious, and they adopted the same spacious pattern for their restrooms.It runs a large span of space.I push inside one of the stalls only to overhear a phone conversation that is on speaker.The person on the other end of the line is dishing out instructions, but the instructions sound very worrisome.“You breathe as she breathes. Always be a step ahead of your game, and don’t mess tonight up. I’m counting on you.”I don’t get the receiver's reply, as she chose that moment to flush the toilet before she heads out of the stall.A few moments later, I push my stall open only to meet Stephanie about to head out.“Steph?” I call, surprised to see her here.“Oh, my goddess, Dr. Whi

I’m so absorbed in my work that I completely forget about my dinner plans with Allister until my phone’s notification beeped.“Hello, love of my life, just checking that you haven’t forgotten dinner tonight. Lumino lounge, in half an hour. Still coming, Bloom?”I close my eyes, guilt washing over me. “Alli, I’m so sorry, I completely lost track of time.” I quickly reply.Agreeing to help Gracie Melvin with her case meant running several tests on her and noting, especially her viral markers. Some of the test results came out early enough, so I compiled their results with clear explanations and forwarded them to Lawyer Calista.Then I plunged into making findings about Pelton the lawyer. Her full name is Pelton Oxad, and she's just thirty-three, working at one of the other law firms in Ashmere city.I’ve combed the internet thoroughly about her, but every single news report out there about her is impeccable.She is good at her job. Highly praised.Even without being told, I just knew s

“How many months ago did your upkeep money stop coming?” Calista, the lawyer Allister recommended, asks Gracie.We’ve settled at the meeting spot, with Calista jotting down stuff in a notepad.“Three months ago.”“How was the payment arrangement?”“They made a five percent upfront payment with the agreement that sixty percent will be spread out each month and the remaining 40% will come after delivery.”Calista’s lips drop down in shock, just like mine. “I’m sorry, Miss Gracie,” Calista calls, ‘how much is your fee in total?”“$2000,” Gracie replies, shocking everyone.“Two thousand what?!” I scream.Calista smiles awkwardly, “You’re joking, right?”Gracie shakes her head, “That was how much Miss Pelton told me I was going to be paid. She said lots of Omegas are venturing into surrogacy, so they are being paid so little. That I’m among the very few getting paid reasonably well because she put in a word for me.”“How much were you paid at the beginning of the process?”“I was paid $10

Twenty minutes later, I pull into the parking lot of Silver Valley Medical Center. I hurry past the reception area and take the elevator instead.Stephanie is in the waiting area, her arm around a young, heavily pregnant lady who can’t be more than twenty or twenty-one. Seated beside them is another lady, who is staring forward like she’s oblivious of the two people beside her.The pregnant girl’s shoulders are hunched protectively, her body language screaming vulnerability.Stephanie looks up with relief when she sees me. “Dr. White, thank you for coming so quickly.”I approach them hurriedly, my eyes filled with concern. All thoughts of my earlier embarrassment disappear as my professional instincts take over.“Hello, I say gently to the pregnant lady. “I’m Dr. White. Would you like to talk somewhere more private?”The girl looks up, her tired eyes taking me in for a moment. My wolf bristles protectively at the sight of how tired and worn out she looks.Has she even eaten? If yes,
